The image shows a piece of paper that appears to be a page from a scrapbook or a collection of clippings and prints. On the top left-hand side, there is a typed article with the heading "Paul J. Sachs Named Honorary Trustee of Cincinnati Museum" with some handwritten notes, including "T.W.C. Harvard" and a date "May 14, '30."

The contrast in the print is quite stark, with the black lines defining shapes against the white of the snow. There is a signature or initials in the bottom left corner of the print. The page itself has three punched holes on the left indicating it is meant to be bound or placed in a binder. The page is discolored around the edges, suggesting some age to the material.
